DailyGood: Misfit Entrepreneurs

Daily Good News: a service of CharityFocus

When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable. --Madeleine L'Engle

Inspiration of the Day:
Imagine Walt Disney at the age of nineteen. His uncle asks him what he plans to do with his life, and he pulls out a drawing of a mouse and says, "I think this has a lot of potential." Or Springsteen. After a show one night, his father, who hated the guitar, asked him what he thought he was doing with himself. How does he tell his father, "I'm going to be Bruce Springsteen"? All great things begin with the courage to be vulnerable. There's a misfit in each of us, and to love it is the most poignant quality in every entrepreneur. [ more ]
